After a very hectic and trying week or so we had a really nice Relaxing day today. started with a proper cooked breakfast this morning and then an excursion up onto the downs with Phoebe. A very successful trip I thought, Headed out with the intention of going up to Farley Mount. We managed to take the wrong turning and get lost on the little single track roads over the Downs and completely lose the mount.( yes we are that good we can get lost within 5 miles of home). On the upside we saw an Owl, Cows, Pigs, some beautiful countryside and I managed to get a fly zip in the side of my helmet and buzz round in my ear ( A bit disconcerting when your wrestling 3/4 of a ton of Russian Iron round gravely, twisting, narrow up and down roads, but it did add to the excitement). After a bit of backtracking we finally got on the right road, and after another fly in the helmet, not to mention eating a few. we arrived at Farley Mount, much to the surprise and horror of some very stuck up ramblers. they all jumped in their assorted cars buggered off at the sight of two crazy old hippies on a big pink motorcycle. We brewed up and enjoyed a nice cup of earl Grey to the sound of Grasshoppers, took in the views ( I love the fens, but its nice to get back to the hills and downs again) and watched Buzzards circle overhead. Tea done we headed into Winchester just in time to terrorise the rush hour traffic. and then returned home through the villages. And now its nearly time for a beer and Grimm on the telly
